Suggestion: Use MathJax instead of KaTeX

[gramster]

I'm not sure why the dev team went with KaTeX when most other Markdown editors seem to use MathJax. KaTeX is inferior in its support. For example, you can't seem to use bold font properly (which is needed for vector variables). Something like:

$E(\bf{x})$

renders fine with MathJax but in Boost you get:

KaTeX parse error: Expected 'EOF', got '\bf' at position 3: E(\̲b̲f̲{x})

KaTeX is much faster than MathJax and easier to implement. I think that's why the dev team adopted it.
Supporting bold italic symbol in KaTeX is discussed on here (Khan/KaTeX).

@gramster Are there at this point, a year-and-a-half later, still problems with KaTeX; making it inferior to MathJax?
